I'm part owner of a shop in London on Queen Street called Sparrow and Nightingale's Antiquarian Books and Rare DVDs along with my partner, Larry -- the brother of my oldest and dearest friend, Kathy Nightingale.Kathy moved -- rather suddenly as it were -- to Kingston-upon-Hull where she settled down to marry and raise children. Kathy passed away more than 20 years ago.I enjoy taking pictures of pretty old things. I love old things. They make me feel sad. Kathy once asked what's so good about sad and I told her that sad is happy for deep people.I hope she understood.One rainy day I ventured out of London to take some pictures of Wester Drumlins, a beautiful and quaint old house with an overgrown, but enchanting garden. Inside the house I found a message addressed to me from someone called the Doctor. But how could this be? The message was written in 1969, a decade and half before I was even born!My opinion of garden statuary is much changed because of my visit to Wester Drumlins. For now, let me just say I really have underestimated the creepiness of weeping angels. {}
